Hezbollah Transfers Majority of Military Sites to Lebanese Army in Southern Lebanon

Most military sites belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon have now been placed under the control of the Lebanese army, following a ceasefire agreement reached on November 27. This accord, which ended over a year of conflict with Israel, mandates the dismantling of Hezbollah's military infrastructure in southern Lebanon and the relocation of its fighters north of the Litani River. Reports indicate that Hezbollah has ceded approximately 190 out of 265 identified military positions to the Lebanese army. Despite this, Israel has maintained its military presence in five strategic locations and continues to target what it claims are Hezbollah infrastructures. Additionally, U.S. Deputy Special Envoy Morgan Ortagus has emphasized the need for the Lebanese government to expedite the disarming of Hezbollah and other militias. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the terms of the ceasefire amidst ongoing regional instability.
